Penny S gets the hearts rolling!

Heart #2 - Games of Hearts

This piece was more of a fun piece to create. I used pieces
from four different games to design a heart of fun. My whole family
loves to play games and put puzzles together so I thought how
appropriate it would be to design a heart out of something
we love. The games included Othello, Rummikub, Checkers and Blokus.

Repetition - Yes, repetition in all the games pieces and color patterns to design the heart

Variety - Yes, pieces from four different games

Rhythm - Yes, the alternating color patterns of the black a
white Othello pieces in the middle. Also the alternating red and black
checkers along the outside of the heart. Just the fact that I used all
game pieces supports a rhythm to the piece

Balance - Near Symmetrical, the inside red and green pieces
would not match perfectly to support a symmetrical piece and neither
would the numbers on the rummikub pieces

Emphasis - Color, I believe your eye is drawn all over the piece rather than one specific focal point

Line - I see vertical and horizontal lines within the green
and red Blokus pieces in the center of the heart, overall shape of a
heart.

Texture - Real texture, it exists in real life

Color - The middle consists of complimentary colors with the
red and green. The white and black Othello are neutrals because they
contrast each other. The Rummikub numbers around the heart are a
primary triad with the red, yellow and blue.
